Rams’ receiving trio grabs at chance to shine with stars sidelined

LA Times  

Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson catches a game-winning, 23-yard touchdown pass in a 17-16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Dec. 8. With 10 seconds left, Jefferson beat press coverage and grabbed a pass from quarterback Baker Mayfield to finish a 98-yard scoring drive that helped end the Rams’ six-game losing streak. Jefferson, Ben Skowronek and Tutu Atwell had key catches in the 17-16 victory over the Raiders that could give the Rams momentum going into Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. “Big-time opportunity to step up,” offensive coordinator Liam Coen said of the receivers, “and they have.” Said coach Sean McVay: “You’re seeing that growth take place right in front of your eyes.” The Rams’ Ben Skowronek makes a key reception late in the game against Raiders cornerback Nate Hobbs. Rams Win under belt, Rams say Baker Mayfield need not learn whole playbook for Packers Baker Mayfield wasn’t even a Ram 48 hours before he led a victory over the Raiders, but a week later coach Sean McVay says the quarterback doesn’t need to learn whole playbook to succeed.
